Instructions
Combine Ingredients: Combine all ingredients (diced strawberries, diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and honey) in a medium saucepan, stirring well.
Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. The fruit will release its juices as it cooks.
Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the burner's heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam is done when it has thickened (a spoonful will leave a wide wake when pushed through it).
Jar and Cool: Carefully transfer the jam to an 8 oz. mason/jelly jar. Seal with a lid. Let the jam cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
Notes
This jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
